There is no easier stone to visit. Re erected in 1981 after the building of this housing estate in a Cul de sac called Cae MaenLlwyd.

I'm a bit surprised this isn't on here already because of its ease of access and its size, it's a big stone. I liked this one, if only to sit next to it and watch the curtains twitching. There can't be many standing stones you can see from the living room, I think I'll move here.

Ambience=0!!!, but it's even got it's own bench, don't you fancy sitting there awhile with 360 degrees of windows watching you? Why ever not?

    Maybe the ambience would increase after the garbage disposal people had visited.

    Oh I don't know, it's got a comfy seat all its own and someone's fashioned the rubbish into a rockery around it. The grass is cut and white van man Mike Lewis Electrical is on hand to service all your wiring needs!
